Intersecting

I saw one of my friends today.   We met at a restaurant downtown for tacos.  It is a restaurant where we have met many times before over the years with friends.  Some of those friends have passed away now.   As I was sitting with my husband and our friend, in the back of my mind, I couldn’t help but remember the memories of the other morning meetings for tacos with the friends that had passed.  It felt like somehow the past, present, and future were all connected. 

When I say that God can see me at all the times in my life, I think the more I realize that is true, the more I see it in my own life. I saw it today.  As I ate that taco, everything seemed to intersect those friends that have passed away really weren’t gone.  Somehow they are still a part of everything because the past, the present, and the future all exist to God.  And if I surrender myself to Him and forget the logic of time and space, then yes I will have eternal life as promised in the Bible.  Not a forever bliss in a cloudy heaven or a body that doesn’t decay, but an understanding that my life is eternal if only I believe in God and have faith.  

My faith saved me.  May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
